With no anti-SLAPP protection in Alberta, they've been drawn into a long, costly legal battle.
If you believe in accountability and a free press, and can spare it, give them your support.

Hi Bluesky 👋
Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP
It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history
I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

It is for the leader of the opposition "who is in Parliament."
